it's most definitely a 86/44q/KG/dual filter/water cooled/single knock

mine is an early (feb, if i remember correctly) 86 build date

BINGO!!                                                                         
and it is a strange combination of 85 type 44(turbo) and 86 type 44q(turbo)     
(not to mention the add-ons during federalization)
